Mario Biondi Knihy

Vo Viedni devätnásteho storočia sa odohráva dráma lásky, osudu a vôle na pozadí intelektuálnych prúdov, ktoré budú definovať celú éru. Josef Breuer, jeden zo zakladateľov psychoanalýzy, je na vrchole svojej kariéry. Jedného z najväčších európskych filozofov Friedricha Nietzscheho trápia samovražedné myšlienky, nenachádza liek na bolesti hlavy a ďalšie problémy, ktoré ho sužujú. Keď Breuer vyhovie prosbe Lou Salomé liečiť Nietzscheho svojou experimentálnou metódou založenou na rozhovore, ešte netuší, že aj on nájde v týchto stretnutiach útechu. Až vďaka tomu, že musí čeliť vlastným vnútorným démonom, dokáže talentovaný psychiater pomôcť svojmu pacientovi. V románe Keď Nietzsche plakal spája Yalom fakty a fikciu, atmosféru a napätie, aby odkryl nezabudnuteľný príbeh o sile myšlienok a priateľstva.

These richly hypnotic tales enfold the reader into Isaac Bashevis Singer's special world of imps, demons, lovers, and other mischievous creatures. His world is a world of feelings, driven by lust, lechery, greed, madness, and love. All of his creatures are seen with a clear but loving eye; all seem and are in fact possessed by good and evil, caught in fascinating dilemmas, now terrible, now wryly comic. Here is a dazzling new collection of stories from the fertile genius of Isaac Bashevis Singer, one of today's most entertaining and original writers. (from back cover)

A Falcon Flies by Wilbur Smith In 1860, a man and woman approach the coast of Africa aboard a swift clipper--in the command of an American who knows no law. Robyn Ballantyne and her brother Morris have waited years for this moment: to return to Africa, to search for their missionary father who had disappeared somewhere in the wilderness. Traveling north from Cape Town, they follow a map left by a madman--into an uncharted world of waterfalls and jungle, teeming wildlife, murderous disease, and the ghastly ruins of an astounding city. Uncovering their father's trail, Robyn and her brother are in the midst of a slave trade that pours out of Africa like a bloody wound. Now, to survive what they have found, they must make their separate ways out--through pitched battles on land and on sea...and through the pride, passions and fury of their hearts...
